War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
(Illustration: ‘President Trump,’ by Jonathan Bass, found here). An outstanding Thursday here on California’s north coast, bright, warm sunshine and clear skies for just about all day, and now in early evening, a bit of the winter chill, but nice outside. Rain still forecast for tomorrow, and accordingly drizzle/showers/rain through the middle of next week.…
(Illustration by Handoko Tjung, found here). Cloudy and gray this Wednesday near-evening here on California’s north coast — although bright and beautiful for most of the day, got overcast and somber by late afternoon. Not bad at all, however. I talked with my youngest daughter this morning, she lives in Duluth, Minn., where it was…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Agonizing Horse,’ found here). A gray-white overcast and chilled sky this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, the dark approaches. Fairly-deep fog this morning when I walked the dogs (or the dogs walked me) out on the Ma-le’l Dunes, the southern unit, and it was more-than-nice; the dogs loved it —…

Cloudy and a bit chilly this Monday evening on California’s north coast, dark and overcast all day, though, some faded-weak sunshine appeared later in the afternoon, and more sun forecast for tomorrow — decent rain storm scheduled to start on Friday, supposedly lasting…
(Illustration: Pablo Picasso’s ‘Seated Pierrot,’ found here). Clear and a bit chilly this Friday evening on California’s north coast, a sunshine-splashed day and didn’t feel quite so cold as the last week or so. Supposedly, a maybe-about 50-percent chance of rain next Wednesday, until then dry with cloud cover and fog — ’bout normal for…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Hell Canto 2: Giants,’ found here). Overcast and foggy this Wednesday evening on California’s north coast, forecasters claimed maybe some drizzle, too, but none yet. In a short little time frame, we did get some sunshine in mid-afternoon, but the bright spell didn’t last long. Pretty cold, though… Another aspect of cold is…
Cold and bright this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast with lots of sunshine, but chilled-out temperatures — high supposedly just 51 and down close to freezing temperatures last night, and probably again tonight. No rain forecast until a week from tomorrow… Way-way ahead of its time — sadly ‘only‘ two years ago: Some old near-forgotten…
(Illustration found here). Sunshine Monday here on California’s north coast and bright skies, though, tempered by a chilled breeze, tapered only by a wind block, maybe a house or building — I walked to Safeway for the first time this afternoon in like a shitload of days it feels like, but probably less than a…
(Illustration found here). Rainy and chilly this Sunday evening on California’s north coast — the environment of dreary. Our only home is self-destructing — our only outside is changing rapidly from livable to unlivable. Via today’s Time: President Donald Trump mocked climate change again on Sunday, just days after the Department of Defense released a…
A direct consequence of the T-Rump code: A brightly-nauseating example of the open nastiness of the T-Rump era. On Friday, a bunch of young, high-school assholes from Kentucky, wearing MAGA hats, accosted Native American veteran Nathan Phillips. The video is all over the InterWebs. In response, the mother of one of the kids claimed “black…
